Abstract : We successfully achieved the simple fabrication method to form the nickel (Ni) microfibers (MFs). In only two steps of electrospinning and electroplating, the MFs were fabricated. The Morphology and composition of NiMFs were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscope (XPS). Furthermore, electrical conductivity and optical transmittance values were observed with a sheet resistance meter and a UV-Vis spectrophotometer, respectively. Such nonwoven metal fibres are free-standing filmshape that promotes excellent flexibility and have a high electrical conductivity. In addition, NiMFs have oxidation resistance as compared with the most recent, transparent copper heat generating nanofibers. These superior capabilities are suitable for applications in a variety of future, transparent heat generating devices. Index terms- Antioxidant, Electroplating, Ion-exchange, Electrospinning, transparent conducting film.
